Mains Powered Heat Alarm with Alkaline Back-up Battery - FireAngel HW1-R
Product Overview
Interlink
Technical Data
FAQs (8)
The FireAngel HW1-R heat alarm is mains powered with a replaceable 9V back-up battery, central silence button, and a dedicated test button. Up to 12 W1-R and W1-PF series alarms can be interlinked together via a dedicated cable, including the CW1-PF-T mains powered carbon monoxide alarm, to provide full coverage and reliable warning of possible danger throughout the premises. To ensure that there is a back-up in case of a mains power failure, these alarms also feature a 'safety clip' which prevents them from being fitted to the base plate without a battery. Two LED status indicators are located on either side of the alarm's test button, one of which will light up to indicate a fault or alarm when necessary and the other showing whether or not mains power is active.

Q. I want to install an interlinked smoke alarm system throughout my home, but what type of smoke alarms do I need in different rooms?
A.
We recommend a heat alarm in the kitchen, optical alarms in living rooms and hallway and ionisation alarms on landings.
Q. Why do your mains powered alarms have batteries?
A.
All our mains powered alarms have a battery backup. Although mains powered alarms without this option do exist (BS5839 part 6 grade E), we regard them as far too dangerous, as a lot of fires are caused by electrical faults leaving the building unprotected against fire if the smoke alarms have no backup battery. With our mains powered alarms you will always be protected.
Q. Can I put my smoke alarm on the wall, or must it be mounted on the ceiling?
A.
The best location to install your smoke alarm is in the centre of the ceiling rather than on the wall. During a fire, smoke initially rises and then spreads to the sides of the room. By installing the alarm on the ceiling, this ensures that you receive the earliest possible warning of a fire.
Q. How long do smoke alarms last before needing replacement?
A.
It is recommended that smoke alarms are replaced after 10 years. This is because the sensors in the smoke alarms become less sensitive and may not activate when a fire is present.
Q. Do you need an electrician to connect mains powered smoke alarms?
A.
Show All It is necessary that an electrician installs mains powered smoke alarms.
